The Wall Street Journal reports on average Americans spend $1.2 trillion a year on non-essential items or materialistic things. Meanwhile, The Huffington Post says on average every American throws away approximately 68 pounds of clothes every year. Which begs the question is America a superficial society? Which is more concerned about material possessions rather than building sustainable and long-lasting relationships? For Mental Health Advocate Mitch Hankins, the answer is a resounding yes. For him his message is that the way we define success in modern-day society is akin to eating the menu rather than the meal. Instead of valuing relationships and contributions, we are taught to value things that are superficial and flashy. We always want the bigger house, the new phone, or the next pay raise. The truth is that we're starving for more meaningful lives but most of us don't know how to get started. Furthermore, Hankins is a cloud-certified full-stack developer who speaks to professionals who struggle to find meaning in life. He has developed his expertise by working with some of the largest organizations in the US, including Nasdaq and the US Military. With over a decade of professional experience, Mitch noticed he and his colleagues often struggled with feelings of isolation. This often led to an unfulfilled life where complacency and loneliness were the norms. Mitch can help any engineer with feelings of loneliness to experience a fuller and more connected life. He joined me this week to tell me more.
